Team VM Sharing

Team VM Sharing lets admins reach into their team’s running labs and view or operate any VM, even if the deployment was launched by someone else and the admin isn’t on the assignment roster.

Required role: VM Admin (typically held by Org Managers / Team Managers)

What “Default Access” Means

A user with the VM Admin permission has automatic, on-demand access to every VM running under their team — no invite required, no transfer of ownership, no extra clicks from the team member. When an admin opens a subordinate’s deployment, every VM in that deployment is immediately visible and interactive, the same as if they’d launched it themselves.

This applies to:

• VMs in scenarios the team member is actively working through
• VMs in scenarios the team member hasn’t started yet
• VMs in scenarios the team member has finished
• Any deployment the team member launched, whether or not it’s marked complete

Common Uses

• Instructor over-the-shoulder support — jump into a stuck student’s VM, watch their session, type alongside them, or take the keyboard to demonstrate a step
• Live troubleshooting — diagnose a broken plugin or misconfigured machine without asking the team member to share their screen
• Spot-checking submissions — verify that a flag was actually captured the right way (not just guessed and pasted)
• Demoing solutions — pull up a finished scenario from any team member to walk a third party through the exploit path
• Recovery handoffs — a team member’s VM hangs or their session drops; an admin opens it directly to save the work without re-deploying

How to Access a Subordinate’s VM

Subordinate deployments show up right on the main dashboard — no need to dig through Team Hub.

1. Open the main dashboard (the default landing page after sign-in)
2. In the lower-left My Scenarios panel, scroll to the Team Scenarios header — every deployment running under your team auto-populates here for VM Admins
3. Click the deployment you want to inspect
4. Pick any VM in the topology — it opens the same multi-tab viewer described in Operating a VM
5. View, control, file-transfer, or VPN in just like the original assignee

Closing the tab doesn’t disturb the team member’s session — multiple users can be live on the same VM simultaneously thanks to the platform’s simultaneous-viewing model.

For a live cross-team overview of which deployments are running and what users are doing inside them right now, Active Operations is still the dashboard to watch.

Provisioning

Like every team permission, VM Admin is granted by Rogue Labs. If a member of your team needs VM Admin access (typically Org Managers, instructors, or designated lab leads), email info@roguelabs.io with the request. See Team Permissions for the full role matrix.
